Product Introduction
Ammonium lactate is the ammonium salt derived from lactic acid, known for its mild antimicrobial activity. Listed under the E number E328, it functions as a versatile ingredient in both skincare and technical applications. In cosmetic formulations, it acts as a moisturizing agent, commonly used to address skin concerns such as dryness, flakiness, itching, and rough texture. As a humectant, it draws moisture into the skin, improving hydration levels and helping maintain a smoother, more supple appearance.
However, ammonium lactate can increase photosensitivity, making the skin more vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) damage. When applied areas are exposed to natural sunlight or artificial UV sources—such as tanning beds—the risk of sunburn rises significantly. For this reason, it's recommended to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and wear protective clothing if sun exposure is unavoidable.

Product Function
- In personal care products, ammonium lactate serves as a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), enhancing the skin’s ability to retain water. By improving hydration in the deeper dermal layers, it promotes a softer, more even, and rejuvenated skin surface.
- Applied in topical creams, ammonium lactate helps regulate the skin’s pH balance, supports desquamation (shedding of dead skin cells), and encourages the turnover of epidermal cells, contributing to a more refreshed and revitalized complexion.
- In powder form, ammonium lactate is clinically used to manage dry, scaling skin disorders such as ichthyosis, where it aids in gently exfoliating excess keratin and restoring moisture.
